My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer, Can I fix It?

My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer,the music works when I put my earbuds in but none of the buttons work on the ipod, I can still hear my music good but is my ipod pretty much done or there is a way I can fix it?

It's likely that the iPod's contact with moisture and soap has short circuited some of its internal components. Water and soap don't mix well with small electronics.
At this point, there really isn't much you can do other than start saving for a new one.

  • My iPod shuffle went through the washer and dryer. The little light turns on but no music comes through any headphones. ???

    What to do??
    Okay so I found my iPod had gone through the washer and dryer. It was perfectly dry. I tried to turn it on, and nothing. But I thought maybe it's just dead. So I plugged it in, let it charge...when I tried to turn it on, the little light went green. I thought hurray!! But I put in the earbuds and heard nothing except some random "Battery level 75 percent." On my sister's earbuds. On my earbuds, which went through the washer too, nothing.
    What to do???

    It's likely that your iPod is toast.  It does not play well with water and soap.

  • My brother's iPod nano went through the washer and dryer!

    My brother was looking for his nano for like a week. Yesterday my mom cleaned his room and put his clothes in the laundry. Today when we were folding the clothes we found it in his pants and it was really hot. Will it survive?

    Maybe.  Put it in a bag of uncooked rice, let it sit for a week.
    Good luck.

  • My iPod Touch 4G went through the washer and dryer. What should I do?

    My iPod Touch went through the washer and dryer. The battery was working, so I turned it on, and surprisingly, the Apple logo showed up, but there were bubbles in the screen. Upon seeing this, I immediately turned it off, and placed it in a bowl of rice. What are some other ways that I can fix the device, either by by taking it to Apple, or another repair specialist?
    Help needed ASAP!!!

    Put rice and your iPod in a zipline bag (no air). Change the rice daily. Leave it there for about a week. Try opening your iPod. If it doesn't work, take it in for replacement.

  • My first gen Ipod went in the wash and now I cannot get wifi on it.

    Well my first generation ipod touch accidently went in the wash, and now when its working again I cannot get any wifi on it. I have tried reset the network settings and the ipod my still no luck.

    Maybe:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Otherwise:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    I would say it is not worth getting it fixed

  • Daughter's IPod Touch went through the washer!  Any hope?  What to do?

    Her new IPod Touch went through the washer. Can anything be done to salvage it?

    Do not turn it on. Put it in rice for 1 - 2 weeks. Take it out, and attempt to turn it on. If it says to plug it in, you can jump up and down. Plug it in, and charge it. If it works, yay!
    Did you know, if the metal inside was a metal that didn't rust, and no electricity was going through the circut boards, you could wash your iPod as many times as you wanted. Just when you want to use it again, make sure it's dry.

  • My iPod went through the washing machine.  Can it be saved?  What should I do?

    My iPod went through the washing machine.  Can it be saved? What should I do?

    When electronics get emersed in liquid, it's not the actual water that causes them to break (although if you spilled something like coke with a bunch of sugar, the sugar would stay in the device even after the liquid of the coke dissolved). What breaks the device is if either it was on when it was emersed in water, or if you turn it on before all the water can evaporate. If so, the water will conduct the electricity between the wires and short circuit the device. If you weren't thick enough to try and turn your device on immediately after you took it out of the washing machine, then it should be fine if you just let the water evaporate. Another technique (to make the water evaporate faster and, on rare occassions, to save a device if you've turned if on while there was still water in it) is to put the device in rice and let it sit overnight. Hope this helps.

  • IPod nano went through the wash

  • Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    No. Just put it in rice as is.
    You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again.

  • Shuffle went thru the wash!

    Help...
    After going through the washer and dryer, It won't hold a charge. It appears on itunes, and it will play from there. Can I replace the battery? and How?

    Make sure it is dried out.......? but the dryer my guess cooked your battery dry !
    On a side note my son sent his nano through the washer and dryer at college and it still works.
    I am betting you have a hotter dryer. When I first got mine I lost it about 1 week after I bought it. I didn't let any laundry get done until I found it. The Shuffle turned out to be hidden in a bag in my truck console, after that point I decided to always use the Lanyard so that it doesn't get missed from it's small size

  • IPod takes a trip through the washer and dryer

    My 14 year old son left his iPod nano (3rd Gen.) in his jeans pocket and it ended going through the washer and dryer. It now doesn't work. I think it's a definate goner, but he insists I find out whether it is fixable.
    Anyone want to take a shot at this one?

    Most likely the battery is shot from that cycle. It MIGHT be fixable with a new battery, but it may not be worth it.
    http://www.iresq.com/ipod/ will evaluate iPods for only $9 and let you know what it will cost to repair...
    http://www.iresq.com/ipod/detail.php?prodID=P010935
    basically you ship it on your dime. They check it out and contact you with the repair estimate. If you decline, they ship the iPod back and you owe nothing more. They keep the $9 of course.
    No first hand experience with these guys, but it might be worth the $9 to determine what the repair will cost.
    Good luck,
    Patrick

  • HT3302 My iPod Touch fell into the washer and now does not start. What can I do to fix it?

    My iPod Touch fell into the washer and now does not start. What can I do to fix it?

    If it is totally dry:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    How do I get Itunes to recognize it.  I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again.  I just want to get back to where I was.
